Trudeau 'welcomes' ethics probe of alleged PMO interference in SNC-Lavalin case

[pgs]

I don't think Conrad's credibility level is terrible high! (A common trait among felons)

He is a very intelligent individual and has a way with words convicted or not . Although I disagree with him here , his commentary is usually well thought out .

I found this piece to be very interesting and illuminating, Ron. Not that I disagree with your assessment of the little potato and the party, but it never hurts to read a different point of view to get a real perspective on what's happening.

I had read this already actually, authored by Conrad Black (born into privilege and wealth yet still a convicted felon for felony fraud and obstruction of justice, expelled from school for selling stolen exam papers, etc... ), yesterday. Forgive me for not putting much weight on Conrad Black's opinion on the topic of ethics and morality, and how much attention the average Canadian should give to a scandal of this magnitude. I too respect your opinion and position here, and it's good to try and see all sides, but in this case I believe it's the Liberal Party being the pot trying to call the kettle Conrad trying to deflect their sliminess and mismanagement in a "but look over there!" sort'a thing.

I see your Conrad Black opinion piece and raise you a Andrew Coyne opinion piece:

When the suspects testify under oath, are appropriately evaluated and cleared I'll put this to bed.

I'd keep the night light on poking in now and again to make sure it's still sleeping tho.

The suspects testify under oath & are appropriately evaluated and cleared but not by Justin's Justin Committee answerable to the PMO...

Connie did his time, JLM. Those who still hold that against him are welcome to their opinion but it has nothing to do with his ability to dig into and expose the underlying elements in any story he chooses to write about. Just sayin'.

How about some specifics??''

"anyone but Justin" does not cut it. One could end up with soothing worse.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Dump Justin but keep LIE-berals and we might end up with MIchael Ignatieff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


God help us.........................they might even bring Bob Rae back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



or a CLONE of that weasel Wernick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Face it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Which ever LIE-beral is picked to replace Our idiot Boy WILL BE WORSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The replacement WILL STILL BE A LIE-beral...............but will have LEARNED how to hide scandals better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Gertting somebody MORE SNEAKY and devious is NOT AN IMPROVEMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Our idiot Boy would be NOTHING without the entire party behind him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The PARTY made him and the PARTY MUST GO WITH HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This has to be the first government in Canada that became obtusely arrogant in the dawn of its first term. That kind of arrogance usually comes after two terms.

That point was well made by a political strategist on Power and Politics too, RCS. Barely 3 and a half years and 2 huge scandals - it really could be some kind of record for any party in Canada. Go Liberals, Go.

This scandal is pretty small potatoes compared to the sort of thing that goes on around the planet but it has also shown the typical, classic Liberal Party of Canada entitlement and they wear it well.

O.K. - You know more about him than I do. Maybe the Yanks did a good job of rehabilitating him!

Hey that is my take . Feel free to hold Conrad Black or anybody else in whatever regard you believe they deserve. Generally I hold most members of the press in low regard.

I'm surprised that more focus isn't being placed on the coincidental (cough cough) insertion of a D.P.A law into an omnibus bill just prior to the innocent misunderstanding and miscommunication between our Federal Liberal Government and the alleged overly-sensitive whistle blowing Jody Wilson Raybould. Or that SNC Lavalin coincidentally lobbied for that bill and is also coincidentally based in Papineau, QC, which is coincidentally, the Prime Minster's riding.


Purely coincidence.

Of course , it was simply a misunderstanding.

I thought the coincidence was that SNC Lavalin was in the replacement Attorney General's riding. Either way I'm sure it smells the same.

Oh, and why did Butts resign after the first shot across the bow? Something deeper and darker lurks ...

Looks like the elites don't really care what the actual facts are, considering the "bigger picture".

Jody Wilson-Raybould

What a battle axe. She was utterly ruthless in her vendetta.. a woman scorned..Hell hath no fury blah..blah.

Jody had her hit list and wanted her pound of flesh. She was for chopping people right and left irregardless of the effects to careers and families. She viewed herself as someone beyond oversight, supervision, advisement.. responsible only to her own conscience. She surmised no one could infringe on her own sacred, indigenous, turf.

Wilson-Raybould was utterly indifferent to holding the fate of thousands of Lavalin employees hostage for the allegedly criminal acts of its executives. She was motivated by her own conceit of being the final and only arbiter of an abstract, juridical, ideal unmoderated by its concrete, practical, cosequences. She’s was an incompetent Minister of Justice. As Attrorney-General she was a strutting egoist who viewed herself a sollitary judicial sorcerer rather than a subordinate counsel to government agency.

Good riddance to her. Wilson-Raybould was just completely full of herself and had no understanding or empathy with those who would have been harmed by her advocacy. And the same to Justin for facilitating this femi-nazi, amazon clique that controls the Liberal government. And for capitulating to all of her ransom demands, including firing his chief advisor, Gerald Butts, and, forcing the retirement of the Clerk of the PrivyCouncil, Michael Wernick.

He finally sacked her, when it became clear there was going to be no end to her blackmail, including a humiliating apology and directing the new AG not to defer the prosecution of the Lavalin (subsequently denied but all the evidence is that’s exactly what she demanded). She’s, of course, covered herself in self-righteousness, self pity, and victimization.

Well now Jody’s political career is finished. What goes around, comes around. It’s one of the few times Justin has managed to crawl out the naive, debauched, political fantasy world that he inhabits but he did it in a typical hissy fit consistent with his character and after most the damage to his reputation and government had already been inflicted.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Our idiot Boy Justin gets caught trying ILLEGALLY to EXCUSE BRIBERY by a Cdn company IN CANADA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And somehow it becomes the fault of Raybould that she will not accept RESPONSIBILITY for making the excuses as ordered?????????????


How sad that the harder LIE-berals try to defend the idiot Boy and smear Raybould...........................................


THE WORSE the LIE-beral party ends up looking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, David Lamenti's riding is next door to the riding that SNC Lavalin is in.

You are arguing TRIVIA THERE Ron!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


It does not matter which riding the Minister responsible for Managing Sleaze comes from!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The job remains the same!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


LIE-berals have done their usual terrible job of handling their SLEAZE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And the latest crap - in which Our idiot Boy Justin has threatened to sue Scheer for libel merely indicates how desperate and bereft of ideas LIE-berals have become!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


LIE-berals are being strongly condemned in the court of public opinion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And we all recall very clearly how Wynne-bag Ontari-owe LIE-berals huffed and puffed and threatened to sue Conservatives for talking about the gas plant scandal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And Wynne-bag LIE-berals threatened to sue over the Sudbury bribery scandal as well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I wonder how those law suits are going now that Wynne-bag HAS BEEN DISGRACED and thrown out of office?????????


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Three LIE-beral lawsuits!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Three LIE-beral scandals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Three LIE-beral FAILURES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
